The woman, Sarah Darling, was simply trying to do good when she decided to drop some change in Harris' cup as he sat begging at his usual spot on a street in Kansas City, Mo., in February when she accidentally lost her ring in his cup.

Discovering the lost gem, Harris considered selling it but decided against it in the end, keeping the ring just in case he saw Darling again.

A few days later Darling showed up. She was so thankful Harris returned it to her she started a fund with her husband, Bill Krejci, to help Harris get back on his feet according to NBC's Today.
